AROUND THE INDUSTRY

Ride Healthier in Snohomish County

Community Transit (CT) in Snohomish County, WA, has entered into a partnership with county government to promote healthier commuting options along three high-congestion roads in the agency’s service area. “Curb the Congestion” invites residents and commuters along these routes to get out of their cars, offering information and personalized assistance to plan a bus trip, find a biking or walking route, or join a carpool or vanpool.

In addition to working with a travel specialist, Curb the Congestion participants have web tools and resources available. They can use an easy online calendar to log their trips and track eligibility for prize drawings. The calendar can also track the impact of an individual’s new travel alternative, such as air pollution prevented and money saved. Program participants who log their alternative trips at least 12 days a month are eligible to win incentive prizes of $250 per month or $1,000 per quarter.

CT operates the program that is funded by the county through development mitigation fees and federal grants.
